Teacher Training

Beyond the Mat

A Day to Move, Pause, and Reconnect

For Pilates teachers who want clarity, confidence, and steadiness — in their bodies and in their teaching

This retreat day is an invitation to step out of the constant doing and come back to what really matters in your work.

It’s designed for Pilates teachers who want to teach with more ease and confidence, without piling on more pressure, information, or self-doubt.

Across the day, we’ll move, reflect, learn, and rest — supporting both your nervous system and your professional life.

Why this day exists

Teaching Pilates can be meaningful and fulfilling — and also quietly exhausting.

Many teachers feel:

  • Responsible for everyone else’s bodies
  • Unsure if they’re “doing enough”
  • Disconnected from their own needs
  • Alone with their questions and self-doubt

This day offers space to breathe, reset, and reconnect.

It’s a chance to:

  • Step away from your usual routine
  • Listen back into your body
  • Refine how you teach without over-complicating
  • Connect with other teachers who understand the realities of the work

You’ll leave feeling steadier, clearer, and more confident in your own way of teaching.

What the day includes

Guided movement sessions (2)

Gentle, thoughtful movement experiences designed to help you:

  • Settle your nervous system
  • Explore strength, softness, and play
  • Embody new ideas rather than over-thinking them

These sessions aren’t about performance — they’re about feeling, noticing, and integrating.

Practical workshops (4)

Teaching Beyond the Mat

Explore how simplicity, sensation, and timing help clients take movement into daily life — without over-explaining or overwhelming them.

Bodies at Desks

Practical tools for working with modern, desk-based bodies. Learn how to reduce tension, improve movement quality, and make Pilates relevant beyond the studio.

Strength Foundations for Women

Build confidence teaching strength across different life stages. Integrate pelvic floor and core awareness in a way that feels clear, safe, and empowering.

Coaching & Reflection: Owning Your Authority

A supportive space to reflect on your teaching and business, work through self-doubt, and reconnect with a sustainable, realistic version of success — on your terms.

Coaching, reflection, and connection

There will be time to pause, reflect, and share — both individually and in small groups.

This isn’t about fixing yourself or copying someone else’s style.

It’s about:

  • Clarity
  • Self-trust
  • Finding your own lane
  • Teaching in a way that actually fits your life

Supportive feedback is offered gently, without pressure or comparison.

The setting

We’ll be spending the day at Mason & Fifth, Westbourne Park — a calm, beautiful space that supports slowing down.

Time is built into the day to:

  • Relax in the swimming pool and sauna
  • Experience a restorative sound bath
  • Enjoy a nourishing lunch
  • Connect without rushing

This day values rest as much as learning.

Who this day is for

This retreat is for Pilates teachers who:

  • Want practical tools they can actually use
  • Feel ready to simplify how they teach
  • Work with real people living busy, modern lives
  • Value connection as much as content

There’s no “right” stage of career — just openness to reflection and growth.

About us

We’re both experienced Pilates teachers who have spent years working with women’s bodies and supporting other teachers.

Grace is also a coach and women’s health specialist, offering deep insight into confidence, clarity, and sustainable professional growth.

I bring expertise in desk-based pain, movement, and economics — grounding our work in practical decision-making, time awareness, and building careers that last.

Together, we blend movement, coaching, and clear thinking — so what you learn feels realistic, embodied, and immediately usable.

What you’ll leave with

By the end of the day, you’ll feel:

  • More grounded in your body
  • Clearer in how you teach
  • More confident in your choices
  • Genuinely connected to other teachers

And you’ll take home tools you can use straight away.

Eloise Hirst

“There are no words to describe how heavenly today was. How do you begin when the experience is unlike anything you’ve felt before? People always say ‘have a spa day, it’ll help you unwind’ but my mind doesn’t settle like it did today. It was more than a treat, it was the time i needed to breathe, to really rest.”

 

Sarah Hills

“I found it all so wonderful! I came away feeling stretched, released, relaxed and calm. The environment was welcoming and warm that I wished there were more hours to go when I left!”
